Title: 数字欧洲计划的早期观点

Abstract: A new Digital Europe Programme (DEP), a funding instrument for development and innovation, was established in the European Union (EU) in 2021. The paper makes an empirical inquiry into the projects funded through the DEP. According to the results, the projects align well with the DEP's strategic focus on cyber security, artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, innovation hubs, small- and medium-sized enterprises, and education. Most of the projects have received an equal amount of national and EU funding. Although national origins of participating organizations do not explain the amounts of funding granted, there is a rather strong tendency for national organizations to primarily collaborate with other national organizations. Finally, information about the technological domains addressed and the economic sectors involved provides decent explanatory power for statistically explaining the funding amounts granted. With these results and the accompanying discussion, the paper contributes to the timely debate about innovation, technology development, and industrial policy in Europe. Show Chinese abstract

Abstract: 一个新的数字欧洲计划（DEP），作为发展和创新的资助工具，于2021年在欧盟（EU）成立。 本文对通过DEP资助的项目进行了实证研究。 根据结果，这些项目与DEP在网络安全、人工智能、高性能计算、创新中心、中小型企业以及教育方面的战略重点高度一致。 大多数项目获得了相同数额的国家和欧盟资金。 尽管参与组织的国家起源并不能解释所授予的资金数额，但国家组织主要与其他国家组织合作的趋势相当明显。 最后，关于所涉及的技术领域和经济部门的信息为统计解释所授予的资金数额提供了合理的解释力。 通过这些结果和相关的讨论，本文为关于欧洲创新、技术发展和产业政策的及时辩论做出了贡献。
